CENTRAL ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL PATNA Order Sheet Item no.: 33 C.P./173/2019 (RANCHI) [ CONTEMPT ] In O.A./55/2017 CHANGING OF CONTROLLING OF CREW LOBBY Court No.: 1 No of Adjournment: 33 Order Dated: 06/10/2026 TARA DEVI Vs ANIL KUMAR
For Applicant(s) Advocate : Shri Ratnesh Kumar.
For Respondent(s) Advocate : Shri Atul Raj. Order of The Tribunal Counsels for both the parties are present. M.A. No. 44/2026 M.A. No. 44/2026 has been filed for substitution of petitioner no.9 in C.P. No. 173 of 2019. We have perused the record. It is found that petitioner no.9 died on 22.11.2020 and the instant M.A. No. 44/2026 for substitution has been filed in the year 2026 after a lapse of about 6 years from the death of petitioner no.9.
Rule-22 of Central Administrative Tribunal (Contempt of Courts) Rules, 1992 stipulates as below:- "22. Application of other Rules of the Tribunal- In manners not specifically provided for in these rules the procedure prescribed in the relevant rules of the Tribunal as amended from time to time shall mutatis mutandis apply to proceeding under these rules." Rule 18 of the Central Administrative Tribunal (Procedure) Rules, 1987 stipulates the time limit for substitution of legal representatives as below:- "18. Substitutiuon of legal representatives- (1) In the case of death of a party during the pendency of the proceedings before the Tribunal, the legal representatives of the deceased party may apply within ninety days of the date of such death for being brought on record as necessary parties.
(2) Where no application is received from the legal representatives within the period specified in sub-rule (1), the proceedings against the deceased party shall abate: Provided that on good and sufficient reasons the Tribunal, on an application, may set aside the order of abatement and substitute the legal representatives."
We have perused the M.A. No.44/2026 in which the applicant has not prayed to setting aside the abatement even none of the paragraphs of this M.A. contains any reason whatsoever that could be assigned to explain the reason for delay in filing this M.A. for bringing legal heirs on record. In view of the above, M.A. No.44/2026 is liable to be dismissed as barred by limitation because it has been filed after a lapse of 6 years from the date of death of petitioner no.9 who expired on 22.11.2020. Accordingly, M.A. No.44/2026 is dismissed. List the C.P. on 04.11.2026 for further consideration. KUMAR RAJESH CHANDRA Member (A) Justice Narendra Kumar Johari Member (J) Binay Prasad ( ps )
